Drag co-efficient in hindered settling is _____________ that in free settling?
Correct answer: C. Always greater than
- A. Less than
- B. Equal to
- C. Always greater than
- D. Not necessarily greater than
Explanation
In hindered settling, nearby particles and the surrounding particle-rich fluid increase resistance to motion compared with free settling. Therefore, the effective drag coefficient is generally greater than in free settling.
